According to the Russian News Service, Sterligov put his property, livestock, and vehicle fleet for sale in Russia before leaving the country. His assistant, Polina Sirota, said Sterligov left for Artsakh on July 4. Sterligov’s lawyer confirmed to the BBC that he had left Russia. “He has left for Nagorno Karabakh, and it’s not known when he’s going to return. Serious circumstances have made him leave Russia but it’s not bandits,” Sirota said. “It is unclear when he will come back, but he certainly will do,” she added. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has already announced that it will investigate the “illegal stay” of Sterligov and his family members in Artsakh, and put them on a list of “undesirable people”.
